There are certain things most of us use every day without giving them a second thought.
A warm shower before work.
A towel waiting when we're done.
The comfort of knowing that the necessities of life will be there tomorrow just like they were today.
Unfortunately, for many families facing homelessness or hardship, those simple comforts cannot be taken for granted.
That is why our team at Frank Myers Auto Maxx was proud to support The Salvation Army Bath Towel Donation Drive benefiting families staying at the Center of Hope Family Shelter in Winston-Salem.
The Center of Hope serves as the only family emergency shelter in Forsyth County, providing housing, support, and hope for families working to rebuild their lives. Among their ongoing needs are new bath towels, an item many of us never think twice about but one that plays an important role in preserving comfort, dignity, and normalcy for those in their care.
When we learned of the need, supporting the effort was an easy decision.
Our family has been part of this community for more than a century. The first Frank Myers store opened in 1918 under the leadership of Frank Myers himself. Today, I am honored to serve as the fourth generation owner of the family business while my son proudly works alongside us as the fifth generation carrying that legacy forward.
For 108 years, our family has believed that businesses have a responsibility that extends beyond the products they sell or the services they provide. If a community supports your business, your business should support the community.
That philosophy has guided our family through generations and continues to shape the decisions we make today.
"A bath towel may seem like a small thing to many of us, but for a family going through a difficult season, it can make a meaningful difference," I said when discussing the drive with our team. "If we can help provide comfort, dignity, and support during challenging times, then that is something worth rallying around."
Community support does not always come in the form of grand gestures.
Sometimes it looks like a neighbor donating a towel.
Sometimes it looks like a local business using its platform to raise awareness.
Sometimes it looks like a community coming together to remind families that they are seen, valued, and supported.
We are grateful to everyone who donated, shared information about the drive, or helped spread the word throughout our community.
You may never meet the family who benefits from your generosity.
But your kindness matters.
And sometimes the smallest acts of generosity leave the biggest impact.
